BACKGROUND ART

In general, a conventional shortened dialing is mostly made in such a manner as to input a telephone number corresponding to a rapid button on a telephone set or connect a separate external apparatus for storing the telephone number to the telephone.

The conventional shortened dialing method, however, has a drawback in that the space usable in the telephone is small and accordingly the font size of letters (names), digits (telephone numbers) or the like for recognizing the rapid button should be reduced. In consequence, children or the old have some difficulty in reading the letters, digits or the like. In other words, they find it difficult to know which rapid button is connected to where or whom.

In addition, the conventional method of connecting the separate external shortened dialing device is shown in many disclosures, such as Korean Utility Model Registration No. 92-206 entitled “a portable dialing device”, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 91-2971 entitled “a wristwatch having an shortened dial tone generator for an electronic D.T.M.F (Dual Tone Multiple Frequency) telephone, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 2000-7143 entitled “an automatic dialing device of a telephone”, and so on. However, the devices in the disclosures have a problem in that children or the old should press rapid buttons to which corresponding telephone numbers are assigned, and they feel it difficult to recognize which rapid button is connected to where or whom.

Further, a keypad 19 is used for inputting shortened telephone numbers corresponding to the sensors 16, and performing a shortened dialing function. A general telephone 50 and a plug 14 are connected to the shortened dialing device combined with a frame 10 via a telephone line 13. Therefore, if a calling party hooks off a handset 51 of the telephone 50 and applies pressure to or makes contacts with one of the specific positions in the picture 11 of the frame 18 a and 18 b in order to operate one of the sensors attached to the specific positions, a pre-inputted and stored telephone number is transmitted, thereby making a phone call to a pertinent character in the picture 11.

The plurality of sensors 16 may be pressure sensors for sensing pressure, IR sensors for sensing heat, or various switches, e.g., press-type touch switches, which can recognize contact like general telephone buttons. The sensors 16, which are attached to the specific positions in the picture 11 of the frame 18 a and 18 b, are separable from and connectable to the shortened dialing device combined with a frame 10. That is to say, the sensors 16 can be attached to the rear surface of the frame 18 a in which the picture 11 is contained. buttons 12 can be attached to the front surface of the frame 18 b in which the picture 11 is contained so as to specify portions to be pressed, clarify operations of the sensors, and inform where are appointed for certain telephone numbers, respectively. Furthermore, if a called party has a plurality of telephone numbers, for example, telephone numbers for house, office, cellular phone, etc., a number of buttons 12 can be allotted to the called party. When such various buttons 12 as house-shaped buttons, office-shaped buttons, cellular phone-shaped buttons, speaker-shaped buttons for audio storage and transmittance are employed, a user can easily make a phone call since he/she can easily find whom and where to call in the picture upon seeing the shapes of the buttons 12 and transmit his/her stored voice, if necessary.

A transparent protection plate 15 may be attached to the front surface of the picture in order to prevent the picture from being damaged and facilitate attachment of the buttons 12. It is preferable that for safety, the protection plate 15 is made of resin materials which are non-fragile, thin, soft, and transparent.
